LATE SPORTING

THE, DEFEAT OF GLOAMING. i SYDNEY PRESS REPORTS. Preis Asaociation—Copyrjght. (Received 11.5 ai.m.) Sydney, September 15. The Telegraph says: Whether Gloaming has| had his day or not it is difficult to say with any degree of certainty. It was not like the Gloaming of old to be beaten so comfortably, after having been thej pace-maker into the straight, but it was only natural if age is beginning to tell. Perhaps it may be that he will prove at his next start that it was the need of a race that told against him, and it is significant to note that his trainer, one of the greatest of all trainers, was of the opinion both beforel and after the Chelmsford Stakes that another week or fortnight's work would benefited Gloaming considerably. The Telegraph declares that the better horse on the day won. The Herald says: Youth prevailed over the last bit.
